Story of Victoria Secret

\n

Victoria's Secret was founded by Roy Raymond, and his wife, Gaye Raymond, 1977

\n

Raymond was embarrassed when purchasing lingerie for his wife at a department store. Raymond reportedly spent the next eight years studying the lingerie market.

\n

Raymond borrowed $40,000 from family and $40,000 from a bank to establish Victoria's Secret: a store in which men could feel comfortable buying lingerie.

\n

Roy thought that Victoria secret would plateau at this stage. He then moved onto another business venture

\n

Victoria\u2019s Secret had a revenue of $6 million dollars. Roy sold Victoria Secret for only $1 million dollars.

\n

His next business ventures failed, his marriage deteriorated, and he took his own life just 10 years after the sale and 3 years after his divorce

\n

Leslie Wexner, the man who bought the business is not worth several Billion dollars
